Study to assess risk and resilience in service members longitudinal study (STARRS-LS)

This $6.7 million cooperative agreement from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences will fund the Study to Assess Risk and Resilience in Service Members Longitudinal Study (STARRS-LS) from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2024. The award is made under the Uniformed Services University Medical Research Projects program (CFDA 12.750) to support the military and public health systems.

The Henry M. Jackson Foundation For The Advancement Of Military Medicine, Inc. will utilize $3.5 million in sub-awards to the University of Michigan and Harvard Medical School to continue Waves 3 and 4 of the multi-mode follow-up survey of STARRS participants, maintain the STARRS data enclave, and analyze STARRS data to further study risk and resilience factors among service members. The University of Michigan sub-award will also begin work on Wave 4 of the follow-up survey. This cooperative agreement will thus fund continued longitudinal research under STARRS-LS through survey follow-ups and data analysis to advance understanding of service member risk and resilience.
